Brigatti Gardens Playground
Brigatti Gardens is a little inner-city oasis located on the corner of Broome and Wright Streets in Highgate. This beautiful tree covered park has a playground, barbecue and plenty of shade, perfect for relaxing, spending time with family or casual exercise.
The playground is due for renewal, and in July and August 2025, we asked for feedback on the play elements people would like to see there.
We heard most people:
- wanted the play equipment to be suitable for 4-8 yrs and/or mixed ages
- preferred a spread-out layout that included slides, swings and climbing equipment
- would accept mixed softfall and natural/existing shade only in order to have more equipment.
- Nature play was also a common theme
Project details
In November, we asked which of the two design options you preferred and we can now let you know that the community preference was for a Design Option 2 - Double Tower.
The main attraction is the Double Tower with Valley Bridge including slide, climbing wall and net, curly and rock climber, inside seat and coconut rope bridge, plus:
- Tipi carousel
- Sitting pole steppers
- Stilts (carved foot steps)
- Up and over net
- Swing (baby seat and flat seat)
- Play panel (music)
- Percussion music panel (drums, percussion play)
This playground renewal will be funded through the City's 2025/26 Capital Works budget. Work is due to begin around March/April 2026.
